CVE-2023-53726CVE-2023-53726
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: csum: Fix OoB access in IP checksum code for negative lengths
Although commit c2c24edb1d9c ("arm64: csum: Fix pathological zero-length
calls") added an early return for zero-length input, syzkaller has
popped up with an example of a _negative_ length which causes an
undefined shift and an out-of-bounds read:
